Iola Elementary School celebrated the last days of school with food and ceremonies. On Wednesday, students were treated to ice cream. On Thursday, they enjoyed a cookout. Fifth-graders, who will be moving on to middle school, celebrated by ringing the historic bell that is believed to have hung in the first Iola school and was restored last summer. Thursday is actually the first “last day of school” for IES, which opened in the fall.
